Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cordless telephone systems and to methods of controlling switching operations in such systems (see e.g. EP-A-368673), and is useful for telephone systems employing TDMA (time division multiple access) and also for hybrid systems employing TDMA in conjunction with other access and modulation methods, e.g. to those employing both TDMA and CDMA-TDD (code-division multiple access-time division duplex).
  • TDMA time division multiple access
  • CDMA-TDD code-division multiple access-time division duplex
  • the invention is particularly, but not exclusively, useful in systems employed for interfacing mobile telephony traffic to CATV (cable television ) plant.
  • cordless telephone systems are being developed which make use of signal exchanging components that perform both broadcast transmission and receiving functions, e.g. RADs (remote antenna drivers) and MEXs (microcell extenders), for exchanging radio telephone signals with mobile cordless handsets.
  • the signal exchanging components are connected by signal conduits or transmission lines, e.g. co-axial cables or optical cables, to basestations, which in turn are connected to the public switched telephone network, or some similar switched network.
  • the signal exchanging components are spaced apart from one another and may be distributed so that their coverage zones overlap one another to form a shaped antenna pattern, or distributed array antenna pattern.
  • the coverage zones thus form so-called roamer corridors, along which the handset user can travel without the need for call hand-off processing for maintaining a communications link.
  • FIG. 1 shows a very simple arrangement of a prior art cordless telephone system, which has a basestation 10 connected to a PSTN (public switched telephone network) (not shown) for receiving signals from, and supplying telephone signals to, the PSTN.
  • PSTN public switched telephone network
  • the basestation 10 is connected to a RASP (remote antenna signal processor) 11, which in turn is connected by a signal conduit in the form of co-axial cable 12 to signal exchanging components, which in the present case are RADs 14, of which only two are shown but which may be greater in number.
  • RASP remote antenna signal processor
  • the co-axial cable 12 may be replaced by an optical cable (not shown), and one or more of the RADs 14 may be replaced by a corresponding number of MEXs (not shown).
  • the signals to and from the basestation travel through the co-axial cable 12 or other signal transmission line to and from the RADs 14 or other signal exchanging components, which in turn exchange these signals with a mobile handset 16.
  • the RADs 14 have limited coverage zones, the limits of which are represented in Figure 1 by lines Z 1 and Z 2 , over which they can receive signals from the handset 16. In order to allow the handset to roam from one to another of these coverage zones, the RADs are located so that the coverage zones Z 1 and Z 2 of the RADs 14 overlap one another. More particularly, the RADs 14 are arranged so that their overlapping coverage zones form a so-called roamer corridor, over which the handset 16 can move while still being able to transmit and receive the telephone signals.
  • TDMA time division multiple access
  • the signal between the basestation 10 and one of the RADs 14 has a signal path through points A, B and C the length of which is different from that of the signal path between the basestation 10 and the other RAD 14, through points A, D and C.
  • a basestation such as the basestation 10 shown in Figure 1 normally provides communication services at a plurality of RAD locations, as described above.
  • a basestation typically has two antennas and operates the communication link through one of these antennas at a time.
  • the antenna to be used is selected by a switch, and the switch is controlled by an antenna diversity algorithm.
  • the antenna diversity algorithm will cause the basestation to change from one to the other of the antennas if there is a predetermined change in the signal power level or some other aspect of the signal link quality.
  • Basestations employing antenna diversity algorithms are commercially available, e.g. from Omnipoint Corporation and Ferranti Plc., and the algorithms for use in such basestations are described, for example, in "Electronic Engineers Handbook", by Fink et al., McGraw-Hill 1982.
  • the present inventor has now found that the known antenna diversity switching algorithms or similar algorithms can be adopted to control the transmission and reception functions in the signal exchanging components, in a distributed array such as that described above, so as to overcome the above-discussed signal timing problem.
  • a method for controlling the switching of components of a cordless telephone system which has a cordless handset, a plurality of signal exchanging components for exchanging wireless time division multiple access telephone signals with the cordless handset and a centrally located basestation connected between the signal exchanging components and a public or private switched telephone network, the signal exchanging components each having a first switched state for communicating with the handset and a second switch state in which communication with the handset is interrupted.
  • the method according to the present invention includes the steps of sensing an aspect of the signal link quality, e.g. the signal strength or bit error rate, of the signals received from the handset at the basestation through the signal exchanging components, supplying switching control signals to the signal exchanging components so as to cause adjacent ones of the signal exchanging components to have mutually different switched states and changing the control signals so as to reverse the switched states of the signal exchanging components in response to a predetermined change of the signal link quality.
  • an aspect of the signal link quality e.g. the signal strength or bit error rate
  • the handset when the handset is located in a region at which the coverage areas of two adjacent signal exchanging components overlap, the handset exchanges telephor signals with only one of these two components, and the other of the components is switched off, during the timeslots assigned to that particular handset.
  • the switched states of the signal exchanging components are reset, at each timeslot assigned to the handset, to the same switched states that the signal exchanging components previously had for that timeslot.
  • a cordless telephone system which comprises a plurality of signal exchanging components for exchanging time division multiple access telephone signals with a cordless radio telephone handset, the signal exchanging components being spaced apart so that the coverage zones of adjacent ones of said signal exchanging components overlap one another.
  • the signal exchanging components include means responsive to switching control signals for switching said signal exchanging components on and off.
  • a basestation which is connected between said signal exchanging components and a public switched telephone network, includes switching control means for supplying the switching control signals to said signal exchanging components so as to cause adjacent ones of said signal exchanging components to have opposite switched states and to reverse the switched states in response to a predetermined change in the signal link quality.
  • FIGS 2 through 5 illustrate an embodiment of the present invention by means of which the above-discussed simulcast problem is overcome by the use of antenna diversity an algorithm.
  • reference numerals 14a, 14b and 14c indicate three RADs which correspond to the RADs 14 of Figure 1 and are connected by a signal conduit 12a, corresponding to the cable 12, through a RASP 11a to a basestation 10a.
  • the RADs 14a - 14c communicate with a mobile handset 16a, corresponding to the handset 16.
  • the signal conduit 12a in the present embodiment of the invention is a co-axial cable.
  • an optical cable or a combination of optical and co-axial cables may alternatively be employed.
  • each two adjacent ones of the RADs 14a - 14c is switched off at the timeslots assigned to the handset 16a, when the latter has moved into the overlap of the coverage zones of these two RADs.
  • the handset 16a is therefore not subject to simulcast transmission from the two adjacent RADs.
  • the basestation 10a does not receive the handset transmit signals through the two adjacent RADs.
  • the RADs are arranged in first and second groups, with the RADs of each group being spaced from one another but overlapping those of the second group.
  • the first group includes the RADs 14a and 14c, which have coverage zones 2a and 2c, which are spaced from one another
  • the second group includes the RAD 14b, the coverage zone 2b of which overlaps the coverage zones 2a and 2c but is spaced from the coverage zones of the remainder (not shown) of the second group.
  • the first group always have a common switched condition which is opposite from that of the second group, so that when the first group is switched on, the second group is switched off and vice versa.
  • the above mentioned antenna diversity algorithm is employed in the basestation 10a to sense the link quality of the signals received at the basestation 10a from any of the RADs 14a - 14c as compared to a predetermined link quality.
  • the algorithm is employed to compare the strength of the received signals with a predetermined signal strength level. If the received signal level is weak, the basestation 10a then sends a switching control signal to all of the RADs 14a - 14c in order to change their respective states from "on” to "off” and vice versa. This will turn off the RAD with the weak signal level and will turn on the adjacent RADs, one of which then provides a superior signal level.
  • the basestation 10a employs a diversity algorithm which operates as follows: For Timeslot 1 Note the timeslot. Reset all RADs to the state they were in at the end of this timeslot previously. If the signal level received falls below a predetermined level, all RADs must change state. For Timeslot 2 Note the timeslot. Reset all RADs to the state they were in at the end of this timeslot previously. If the signal level received falls below a predetermined level, all RADs must change state. . . . . . For Timeslot 1 Note the timeslot. Reset all RADs to the state they were in at the end of this timeslot previously. If the signal level received falls below a predetermined level, all RADs must change state.
  • the handset 16a is within the coverage zone Za of the RAD 14a, which is switched on, and, therefore the RAD 14a can exchange signals with the handset 16a.
  • the adjacent RAD 14b is switched off.
  • any other RAD adjacent the RAD 14a is also switched off.
  • the RAD 14c shown as being adjacent the RAD 14b but not the RAD 14a, is switched on to cover a coverage zone Zc.
  • the handset When the handset roams into the area of overlap of the RADs 14a and 14b, it will exchange signals only with the RAD 14a until the basestation 10a detects that the handset 16a has roamed sufficiently into the coverage zone Zb ( Figure 3B) of the RAD 14b.
  • the basestation 10a switches off the RADs 14a and 14c and switches on the RAD 14b and any other RAD adjacent the RAD 14a.
  • the handset moves sufficiently into the coverage zone 2c of the RAD 14c, as shown in Figure 3C, and the basestation then again switches on the RADs 14a and 14c and switches off the RAD 14b.
  • the basestation 10a is shown in greater detail in Figure 4 and has conventional signal receiving and transmitting circuits 20 for connection to the PSTN (not shown), and a microprocessor 22 and an analog-to-digital converter 23 which quantifies the power or other signal link quality of the signals received from the handset 16a.
  • the resulting measured value is compared in the microprocessor 22 with a preset signal level, and the line 24 is toggled accordingly.
  • the analog-to-digital converter 23 is connected by a tap 25 to a line 27 carrying the signals from the handset.
  • the microprocessor 22 makes this decision on an individual timeslot basis, and the microprocessor 22 is therefore provided with timing data by the basestation receiving and transmitting circuits 20 through line 26.
  • the microprocessor 22 resets the diversity state for a timeslot at the beginning of each timeslot and makes changes to the diversity state only at the end of each timeslot.
  • the microprocessor 22 also provides an output signal through an AND gate 28 to a switch 30 for switching between an antenna 32a and a line 32b for exchanging wireless signals directly through the antenna 32a with the handsets when the RADs 14a - 14c are not in use.
  • a manually actuatable switch 31 can be closed to provide a signal on line 33 to the AND gate 28 for disabling the antenna diversity.
  • Fig. 5 of the accompanying drawings which shows a block diagram of the RASP 11a and the RAD 14a
  • the base station 10a is connected by line 32b to interface circuitry 34, which is provided in the RASP 11a for interfacing the base station 10a with the signal conduit 12a by means of a coupler 45, which connects the oscillator 44 to a line 45 carrying the telephone signals from the interface circuitry 34 to the signal conduit 12a.
  • the RASP 11a also includes a phase locked loop and data modulator 36, which is connected to a crystal oscillator 38, which acts on a frequency reference.
  • the crystal oscillator 38 provides a waveform to a mixer 40, which is connected through a loop filter 42 to a voltage controlled oscillator 44, having a feedback connection 46 to the mixer 40, in accordance with conventional phased-locked loop design.
  • the line 24 from the base station 10a is connected to the modulator 36 either before the loop filter 42, by line 24a, or after the loop filter 42 by line 24b.
  • the toggle signal on line 24 is modulated on to an rf carrier, and the resulting modulated signal is then fed through the signal conduit 12a by means of a coupler 45, which connects the oscillator 44 to a line 45 carrying the telephone signals from the interface circuitry 34 to the signal conduit 12a.
  • the RAD 14a which is similar in construction to the RADs 14b and 14c, has interfacing circuitry 48 for interfacing the signal conduit 12a with the RAD 14a.

  • the line 64a or 64b is connected either by line 66 to the input of an inverter 68 or by line 70 to the output of the inverter 68.
  • the inverter 68 and the two lines 66 and 70 are provided so that, when the equipment is installed, line 66 can be employed on one RAD, while line 70 is employed on the adjacent RAD or RADS. In this way, it is ensured that adjacent RADS on the same signal conduit are always in opposite states.
